It's interesting to see how major cloud service providers decouple storage from compute, while relational database management systems have always been bringing them together tightly

Cloud service vendors do that to offer wider array of more diverse services and various combinations between them, but as the gap between and gets bigger, I/O goes up dramatically. Watch it - often that is exactly what you are billed for

Relational DBMSes will always utilize block storage and will have specific implementations around to ensure that same gap is close to none

But so called big data solutions always favored basic storage approach - that goes well with decoupling. Meaning we will see mostly big data options favored in cloud offerings as opposed to RDBMSes. The latter will, of course, remain available, but not as highly advertised or pushed
